Fishing Social Media

Archived since: Dec, 2022

Description:

This collection was created to view the relationship between social media and fishing. Fishing is typically a solitary sport along the small waterways in the United States, but there is something about it that makes people happy, and that is understandable. Many believe that the relationship between fishing and social media is detrimental as it allows multiple people to be exposed to fishing locations that would, earlier in time, been visited by families or friends of families that knew about the locations. The collection will focus on that, but it will also place a heavy focus on the visual enjoyment of people catching fish in these spots that are deemed local. This collection could be used by anyone looking for access to new fishing spots or anyone looking to study the sport of fishing.

Kisekae Set System

Archived since: Nov, 2022

Description:

Kisekae Set System, a coding language originally intended for creating paper doll dress-up games, was created at the beginning of the 90’s and initially popularized through Japanese BBS systems. Eventually, it spread to English-speaking countries and across the world through the World Wide Web. Its ability to be ported to a wide range of computers and its simple coding language, alongside its graphical capabilities, resulted in creators who incorporated both interactive functionality and inventive and visually flavorful artwork, highly-focused on pixel art. This collection compiles a wealth of KiSS viewing software, KiSS sets in .lzh format, and the personal websites of several artists who contributed to the scene. Some files and graphics may contain cartoon nudity, either anatomically-accurate or not, and some may depict underage characters in a sexualized manner. English-language resources label these clearly, and frequently include their own detailed sitewide disclaimers. The Japanese-language resources may use a general “no users under 18” disclaimer, with the most easily-read being the “R18” label, for their content.

You, Me, & a Cup of Tea

Archived since: Nov, 2023

Description:

This collection is about “tea culture.” It relays information on cultural etiquette and ritual surrounding tea and other herbals, along with conveying the meaning behind tea ceremonies and tradition. This collection acts as an exhibit by revealing the dispersal of tea across the globe while showcasing herbal blends of significance and key varieties of tea, including some lesser known, such as yaupon (pronounced yō-pon) tea in North America, and including exotic “stars,” such as pink, Kashmiri chai! I was inspired by my own personal love of herbal remedies as my motivation to create. This collection highlights various ethnic traditions, which I believe may serve later generations of tech-savvy people as a means of recapturing possibly lost ancestral herbal traditions. It is my well intention that whoever beholds this collection in the future gleans from it an appreciation for the living treasures God has so graciously given, but that we destroy day-by-day. Hopefully, these treasures survive long enough for that appreciation to heal or comfort a dying world. -Natasha Lanman
